The linker will call `lto_codegen_add_must_preserve_symbol' on all globals that
should be kept around. The linker will pretend that a dylib is being created.

This function sets the `_exportDynamic' ivar. When that's set, we export all
symbols (e.g. we don't run the internalize pass). This is equivalent to the
`--export-dynamic' linker flag in GNU land:
--export-dynamic
When creating a dynamically linked executable, add all symbols to the dynamic
symbol table. The dynamic symbol table is the set of symbols which are visible
from dynamic objects at run time. If you do not use this option, the dynamic
symbol table will normally contain only those symbols which are referenced by
some dynamic object mentioned in the link. If you use dlopen to load a dynamic
object which needs to refer back to the symbols defined by the program, rather
than some other dynamic object, then you will probably need to use this option
when linking the program itself.
The Darwin linker will support this via the `-export_dynamic' flag. We should
modify clang to support this via the `-rdynamic' flag.

Necessary to give disassembler users (like darwin's otool) a possibility to
dlopen libLTO and still initialize the required LLVM bits. This used to go
through libMCDisassembler but that's a gross layering violation, the MC layer
can't pull in functions from the targets. Adding a function to libLTO is a bit
of a hack but not worse than exposing other disassembler bits from libLTO.
Fixes PR14362.

Per the October 12, 2012 Proposal for annotated disassembly output sent out by
Jim Grosbach this set of changes implements this for X86 and arm. The llvm-mc
tool now has a -mdis option to produced the marked up disassembly and a couple
of small example test cases have been added.

so we don't want it to show up in the stable 3.1 interface.
While at it, add a comment about why LTOCodeGenerator manually creates the
internalize pass.

native linking export files, including running sed to prepend underscores
on darwin, and make use of it in libLTO and libEnhancedDisassembly.
Remove the leading underscores from library export files so that they
work with the new EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE support.

Add lto_codegen_set_assembler_path() API which allows the linker to specify the
path to the assembler tool to run. When assembler is used (instead of compiler)
different command line options are used.
Add LTO_API_VERSION #define so clients (linkers) can conditionalize use of new APIs.
